Post your predictions in the comments and let's see who comes closest.
The Academy Awards are tomorrow, so I wanted to get posted my predictions. Before I do, however, I'll give you my personal favorite movies from these that I would highly recommend you see, if you haven't already: The Artists, The Descendants, Midnight in Paris, and Moneyball. Many of the others are also quite good (Iron Lady, Girl w/t Dragon Tattoo, The Help, Hugo, etc.) and definitely worth seeing, but the four I listed as my favorites this year should not be missed.
OK, so on to my predictions:
Best Actor
Best Picture
- The Artist - MY PREDICTED WINNER
- The Descendants

- Midnight in Paris
- Moneyball

- George Clooney (The Descendants)
- Jean Dujardin (The Artist) - MY PREDICTED WINNER
- Gary Oldman (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy)
- Brad Pitt (Moneyball)

I feel pretty good about my predictions, with the exception of Best Actor, that one could just as easily go to Clooney, so it was a close one for me there.
Think I'm off? I hope you'll post your predictions in the comments below (or email me with your picks), and we'll see who comes closest.
